Basically Most videos don’t load on first try for me on Freetube. so I have to go back and forth to reload the video hoping this time it will load? they have removed the reload button, and the team are just closing issues on GitHub that demand reinstating the reload button. Plus comments have stopping loading as well.
Invidious doesn’t work half of the times. and piped is dead.
What do you recommend using on desktop. or is paying for youtube Red the only option left?
I have never seen a reload button, they used to have one? why won’t they add it back, is it a technical hurdle?
Yes. by clicking ‘r’ you were able to reload the video page. but it was remove around April, and it only works on the search page.
They cited something unconvincing I don’t remember why exactly but they are blocking all discussions about it since.
